Traditionally, release-team has been the collection of people who have 
volunteered to build, and smoke-test OpenAFS on the various platforms that we 
aim to provide binaries for at the time of release. Their involvement in 
release planning has pretty much been limited to Derrick saying "please build 
this" and them saying "it works".

Recently, however, folk on release-team have been saying "it doesn't work", 
which is why they perhaps have more knowledge of the 1.6.1 process than those 
who aren't building packages.

I've been arguing for a while that OpenAFS should switch to date based feature 
freezes - nothing else really makes sense for a project with no resources. 
However, doing this effectively would mean that we have to stop pulling new 
features in midway through a set of pre-releases.

Cheers,

Simon._______________________________________________
